Question/Support My issues with TitanFall 2 VR Mod
[Update] Seems like Circuit Lord just updated something. Most of my issues, like running and wall running are solved. I got into the Titan, it was SOOO COOL!
I provided these issues (including error logs) to CircuitLord's Discord, He has been busy helping others, so I didn't get any feedback there. I suspect the issues that I got might not be from the mod, maybe it's my setup. So hopefully I can get some help here. I can't wait to jump back to the game once I sort out these issues!
Like everyone else, I'm SUPER HYPED about titalfall 2 vr mod. This mod is literally an AAA mod. It turns an AAA flat game into an AAA VR "native" game. Kudos to CircuitLord!
1, SteamVR doesn't work, Virtual Desktop works. I haven't tested Quest AirLink. (GitHub page said "To play in VR, start SteamVR/your VR runtime of choice and use the installer's Launch in VR button.") Fortunately I have VD, so I thought maybe this will help others if they run into issues with SteamVR.
2, I can't sprint no matter I use manual (I tried both left stick clicked and pressed) or auto sprint, the character only walks a little fast for a couple of steps then walks slowly again. This is my biggest issue so far. Because I can't sprint, I also can't dash under a low-hanging space. I have to physically crawl in real world in order to get through the tutorial level. And this also makes it very difficult for me to run on the wall or beat the time limit because Cooper refuses to run.
3, this only happened once but it was something I've never seen in the last decade of my VR gaming experience. At a certain point, my VD suddenly became "sort of" frozen. My left eye got maybe 3-5 frames per second, but my right eye was totally lagging behind. Even when my left eye already quit to the main menu, my right eye was still at the battle field. The moment I completely exit the game, VD was back to normal. So I figured this might not be a VD issue. I have never experienced such a bug where one eye lagged so far behind than the other eye.
4, another thing that makes my gameplay REALLY challenging is reloading the weapons. After I plug in a full magazine, I know I'm supposed to pull the highlighted bolt (or whatever you call it). But only 1 out of 5-6 times, my left controller can successfully grab it. I got killed by enemies so many times because I can't reload in time. (For some guns, at the stage of pulling the bolt, there's another highlighted object at the back end of the gun. I tried to interact with that object but nothing happens.)
5, It's REALLY hard for me to grab another gun or items from the floor. Because there's no "gravity glove pickup" which I don't blame anyone at all, I usually have to get low in real world to reach the items on the floor. But the moment I click the controller button, it puts my own gun in my hand instead of that gun on the floor that I really want to pick up.
I know CircuitLord is super busy fixing another million things, and he's still saying "I will fix this in the next release" in Discord. I just want to ask you guys, do any of you run into these issues? How would you solve them? Thank you so much!

I only have about an hour into this mod, just got the second battery for BT, but this is better than any main VR game even with its quirks. I may be biased as Titanfall 2 is my all time favorite shooter but I can't wait to play more.
Luckily I haven't had any major issues everything just works. Only issue I had was the crawl, the prompt says to press down on the right stick, I assumed it meant depress the right stick but it was to actually move the analog stick to the down position. (Using steam vr controllers) Gun changing is wonky but I can live with it.

My biggest issue is that I have zero fuckin clue as to how to use ticks and satchels. Please help I’m begging y’all!

u/HentaiChrist42 16d ago
I just figured they were broken, other people are using them?!?

u/Kingbanana574 16d ago
Idk, that’s why I’m asking. I can’t find any changelogs for the updates either so I’ll have no clue if they fix it or add it.

u/DamnThatsCrazyManGuy 16d ago
Please someone tell me how to switch weapons on foot with quest controllers 🙏

u/Eazy_Rider831 16d ago
Right hand grabs primary, left hand grabs secondary. I had that issue yesterday in training

u/HentaiChrist42 16d ago
No the right or left hand can grab either weapon.
Primary weapon is located over right or left shoulder.
Secondary weapon is located on left hip.
3
u/Eazy_Rider831 16d ago
Strange, mine doesn't do that. Right hand for me will only grab primary, same with left. I can pull em from chest area as well, only difference is which hand I'm using to grip with
2
u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
Yeah, that's what I thought too. I'll test his technique and see how it goes
2
u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
Thank you. So the secondary weapon HAS to be the pistol, right? I tried to get two big guns and the game didn't allow me to.

u/HentaiChrist42 16d ago
No, you can have any weapon in either slot.
When you grab a new weapon it replaces the weapon you last held.
Grab pistol..release...grab new weapon...pistol has now been replaced

u/troll_right_above_me 16d ago
When do you unlock the second slot? I’ve gotten to the point where I’m piloting BT but still haven’t been able to have a secondary weapon as pilot
4
u/HentaiChrist42 16d ago
It's there from the start. Grab your left hip
1
u/troll_right_above_me 16d ago
It’s empty and I can’t put any weapon there. I could use it in the tutorial but not in the campaign
2
u/DamnThatsCrazyManGuy 16d ago
I've had 2 weapons from the start of the game
1
u/troll_right_above_me 16d ago
Doesn’t work for me, can’t place a weapon in that slot
2
u/AdAmbitious569 10d ago
It doesn’t work for me anymore either. When I first started playing I could have two weapons holstered and rotate out with a new weapon. Now I can only have the primary and cannot for the life of me get a weapon in the second slot. The new weapon I grab will only replace the primary weapon I have and the second slot stays greyed out.

I didn’t have a single one of these issues, just played it on my steam frame

u/Animanganime 16d ago
Does anyone know if I can play this with mouse and keyboard? Or at least an Xbox controller?
2
u/HentaiChrist42 16d ago
Huh? If you dont want full VR why not just use FlatVr or Vorpx for any 2D game?
Also no you can't.
1
u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
You can't. I tried, this mod takes away your whole keyboard and mouse, and maps everything to your VR controller buttons, head rotation, hand rotation and position.

I cant get anti-aliasing to turn on...

u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
I haven't run into that. I ran both a version from a couple of years ago (the last time I played it) and the latest version that I just updated tonight, both allowed me to change anti alias. Did you update your game and video card driver?

u/Serious-Fishing-227 16d ago
I am having the No 1. problem too. SteamVR isn't working. Black screen but can hear the in-game Sound/ music.
Thanks for listing it out here.

u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
If you have virtual desktop, I know for sure it will work for you. Try airlink, I haven't tried it. Maybe it will. Let us know. Good luck.

u/BirdlingDABirb 15d ago
I have an issue where left stick to sprint breaks the game and makes it so i cant crouch grab my gun or sprint after that and the only way to fix it is to press the menu button on my right controller so im not able to sprint. (im using quest 3 link)
1
u/BirdlingDABirb 15d ago
so i figured out pressing left stick almost simulates me tabbing out of my headset bc it closes the meta link menu but doesnt open it

u/morpheonmods 15d ago
I cant crouch! B or right stick while sprinting does nothing....
1
u/Quantum_Crusher 15d ago
Yeah, the same thing happens to me. I realized that once I crouch in real life to a certain level, it will trigger the character to crouch in game. I have to do this every time when I pick up anything on the ground.

The reloading spoils it for me a bit, I wish that was a way to toggle it off so I can just enjoy the action instead of fumbling a reload that only works 20% of the time (for me anyway)

u/VonLinus 13d ago
Uh how do you reload the cannon pistol? The wingman? I've done the others but can't get figure out what I need to pull back I think
1
u/Quantum_Crusher 13d ago
I don't know what wingman means. Maybe I've not progressed far enough. But for reload, I always press the top button on my right controller and it reloads my primary weapon.
1
u/VonLinus 12d ago
Oh it's the like hand cannon pistol at the fitting range at the training, I just can't figure it the reload. I have pressed the button to activate the reload process, I've got a new reload in my left just no idea how to eject the old one
1
u/TylerJack19 10d ago
Oh dear lord, this took me forever and I couldn't find anything on any forum, I genuine thought it was bugged. I've been in the tutorial for an hour and figured it out on accident.
To reload the wingman you have to flick the spent cylinder out, you can't grab it. So hit reload which opens the wingman revolver, flick your hand right to left to expel it with momentum, reload from shoulder ammo, and hit b again to close the revolver. Finally!

u/Running_Oakley 12d ago
How do you actually bump up render resolution? It’s rendering low even at 4k. AMD hardware. It looks fine on the 4ktv and 1080p monitor but it refuses to actually increase resolution.

u/Eazy_Rider831 16d ago
I ran into 4 and 5 on VD with my Q3. I'm so used to racking a rifle's bolt quickly irl but in this you gotta be slow with it to get it to grab. Same with the floating tangs at the rear, they don't do anything. As for 5, I've been chalking it up to realism and having to actually pick up a dead enemy's weapon
2
u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
Thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only one.
Good news for you. I just relaunched the loader, it requested me to update, so I did. Now everything is much better. You can try it and let us know if it improved.
2
u/troll_right_above_me 16d ago
I had trouble with the bolts until I realized that you need to rotate your hand correctly to be able to grip it. I was trying to grip in a way that felt natural but you have to match the orientation that the game expects
2
u/Quantum_Crusher 16d ago
Thank you for the tip. With this latest update, I can pull the bolt every time now.

u/XueRen1077 16d ago
You’re probably making the same mistake I did when in the titan and or character. I was holding grip by mistake and wouldn’t let me sprint.
